Product Description
In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.
You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool.
Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE March 12, 2010 N. N Perez (Las Vegas, Nv United States) I laughed out loud, read chapters to my husband who also laughed out loud. I think this book takes a certain mind set to enjoy. I think all the people who wrote negative reviews should have thought before purchasing the book "what type of book they were purchasing?" What did anyone expect from a book by Chelsea Handler titled MY HORIZONTAL LIFE? This book is funny. Don't let anyones opinion stop you from reading something they don't know if you would enjoy. Read on
PMSL March 11, 2010 Sara L. Guldi This book is hilarious! I have been laughing out loud reading it, and can't wait to read more Chelsea Handler. Guys - this is definitely geared towards women.
great read, had me dying laughing March 11, 2010 C. Vonlewis (Montana) I really enjoyed this book, its really funny and I really liked how she didn't sugar-coat anything. She did a really good job. Ill definitely buy more of her books.
Not as funny as I expected March 8, 2010 Sarah E. Bennett (pennsylvania) This book really is more of a story about her life, which I enjoyed reading. Of course there were some funny parts, but it's mainly about the problems she's had with men. I would still recommend it if you're a big fan of her like I am.
Enjoyable leisure reading March 8, 2010 Cindy Tauer (Sartell, MN) If you like Chelsea Handler, you will love this book. It is a very entertaining story of her love interests over the years. I thought it was funny and it read quickly. I think it is one of the best books she's written.
